along with the RJ-45 rollover cable.

Access the USB-B Console Port

The S60 system has two management ports available for system access: a console port and a Universal
Serial Bus (USB)-B port
settings are the same. When the USB-B drive is connected, the S60 system sends all messages to it.
The USB-B connector port is labeled on the left of the management ports on the rear of the S60 system.
Figure 6-2. S60 USB-B Port Connector
When you connect both the console port and the USB-B port, the S60 system defaults to the USB-B port.
If the USB-B port is connected, the console connection is considered inactive.
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure you have a terminal emulation program already installed on
your PC. You will also require the appropriate drivers for the USB device in use. For assistance, contact Dell
Networking Technical Support.
